Verse
Job - ch 21 v 1 - 20
- And Job answered and said,
- Hear attentively my speech, and let this replace your consolations.
- Suffer me and I will speak; and after I have spoken, mock on!
- As for me, is my complaint to a man? or wherefore should not my spirit be impatient?
- Mark me, and be astonished, and lay the hand upon the mouth.
- Even when I think thereon, I am affrighted, and trembling taketh hold of my flesh.
- Wherefore do the wicked live, grow old, yea, become mighty in power?
- Their seed is established with them in their sight, and their offspring before their eyes.
- Their houses are safe from fear, neither is the rod of +God upon them.
- Their bull gendereth, and faileth not; their cow calveth, and casteth not her calf.
- They send forth their little ones like a flock, and their children dance.
- They shout to the tambour and harp, and rejoice at the sound of the pipe.
- They spend their days in prosperity, and in a moment go down to Sheol.
- And they say unto ùGod, Depart from us, for we desire not the knowledge of thy ways!
- What is the Almighty that we should serve him? and what are we profited if we pray unto him?
- Behold, their prosperity is not in their hand. The counsel of the wicked be far from me!
- How often is the lamp of the wicked put out, and cometh their calamity upon them? Doth he distribute sorrows to them in his anger?
- Do they become as stubble before the wind, and as chaff that the storm carrieth away?
- +God layeth up the punishment of his iniquity for his children; he rewardeth him, and he shall know it:
- His eyes shall see his destruction, and he shall drink of the fury of the Almighty.
